Tips from the Community
The harbour is the heart of Nysted. Here you can feel the pulse of life. You are in the middle of the city and in nature. Nysted Harbour is located in the interior of Nysted Nor with a wonderful view over the Fehmarnbelt, the offshore wind farm on Rødsand, the old provincial town and Ålholm Castle. The harbour is on the south coast of Lolland. With NW and N winds, low tide is up to 1.5 m. In Nysted, with its old, lovingly preserved houses, you can feel the history and be filled with new energy. If you want to see something of the surrounding area, a bicycle is the best option. Bus: Line 730 Nysted - Nykøbing Falster

The sign is located on the count's property, but is open to the public during the day. The tracks can still be seen in the forest.

From the harbor there are beautiful views of Nysteds Church. As the city's landmark, the beautiful baroque church tower and the water tower stand out from the city skyline. The church consists of a nave and several annexes. The oldest parts of the building can be dated to around 1330. The tower was added later. In 1643 the church was extended by a north nave and in 1659 the spire was added. The last reconstruction dates from around 1854. More information about the church at https://nysted.dk/nysted-kirke/.

Nysted Town Hall was built in 1839 and enlarged in 1920. Today it is a two-story building with a three-part facade and a balcony in the middle. The glockenspiel, which chimes on the hour, has been around since 1987 and was donated by a former mayor of the city. A picturesque detail is the dial decorated with the coat of arms of the city. The town hall is currently used for exhibitions.

After his death, Emil Aarestrup became one of the most admired Danish poets around 1850. During his lifetime he was more concerned with other things. He was a general practitioner in Nysted from 1827-1838. He was involved in the life of the city and the surrounding area, e.g. he was a member of the municipal council. After that he moved to Sakskøbing and later became a medical officer in Odense.
